had him on my nighttime Jim Bohannon Show, he ALWAYS surprised me with
at least one amazing tidbit of information I'd never have suspected.
Usually, it's half a dozen or more." --Jim Bohannon, Host of the
Nationally Syndicated Jim Bohannon Show and
America in the Morning.

expect from Hollywood's best storyteller? Amazing tales about actors,
directors, writers and producers, brought to you with incredible
research style and wit by a guy who knows it all, Stephen Schochet!"
